Ergodicity of Markov chain Monte Carlo with reversible proposal

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We describe ergodic properties of some Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithms for heavy-tailed target distributions. The analysis usually falls into sub-geometric ergodicity framework but we prove that the mixed preconditioned Crank-Nicolson (MpCN) algorithm has geometric ergodicity even for heavy-tailed target distributions. This useful property comes from the fact that the MpCN algorithm becomes a random-walk Metropolis algorithm under suitable transformation.
